>whats so good about antonioni?
I really like his use of visuals and examination of relationships. Especially La Notte and L'eclisse there is a certain mood he is able to establish in his films that sits very well with me.
>the rest is good, except for tarr béla and angelopoulos but those are there as memes obviously
I'm not memeing Tarr and Angelopoulos have very similar style to Tarkovsky. The long takes and hypnotic mood are brilliant in their films. Tarr can go a bit too long with his takes but even his films which don't work for me as well as the one i consider masterpieces, have moments of staggering beauty and beautiful scenes. The same goes for Angelopoulos but his filmography is better than Tarr's in my opinion. He is able to convey so many emotions with his visual storytelling. Also all of his films have this nostalgic, melancholic mood which i love and they all have great music.

Did Teshigahara make anything worthwhile except for Woman in the Dunes and The Face of Another?

My personal favorites:
1. Denis Villeneuve
2. Stanley Kubrick
3. Yorgos Lanthimos
4. Akira Kurosawa
5. Paul T Anderson
6. Ingmar Bergman
7. Michael Haneke
8. Orson Welles
9. Alfred Hitchcock
10. Andrei Tarkovsky

Not in any order of preference
Andrei Tarkovsky
Haneke
Bergman
Theo Angelopoulos
Leone
Gavras
Vittorio De Sica (and maybe most of the Italian neorealism)
Eisenstein
Fellini
Truffaut
Godard
>Angelopoulos
One of the few non slavs with just immaculate cinematography in any of his films.

Good taste. I agree about Angelopoulos he was a master of camera movement and creating hypnotic mood. All of his films are visually stunning.

Kino maker.

>Scott hasn't made a good film in ages
True but he made gladiator blade runner, and alien so hes still one of my favorites
>Cameron hasn't made a good film in more than 2 decades
So? He still made t1, t2, aliens, titanic true lies etc
>Spielberg has completely lost it
i liked bridge of spies, and rpo is a bad premise/book but I enjoyed movie, and only a great director can take that piece of shit source material and make something enjoyable. i have no interest in Hollywood sucking off newspapers so I never saw the post but im sure it was well directed

Rohmer I would probably say Claire's Knee or The Collector

>Jodorowsky

Nolan makes the lowest common denominator blockbusters. His films are exposition infested garbage. His characters serve as a mouthpieces for his exposition. He could convey a lot of the informations visually but instead he chooses to pander to idiots and explain everything. Most of his films consist of characters explaining the plot. He can't direct action scenes, his dialogue is terrible. His films are ridden with plot holes, he also likes to establish rules in his films and then subsequently breaks them. Dunkirk was a step in right direction for him.
Cameron's overreliance on modern technology makes his films age like milk. Avatar looks terrible. He made T1, T2 and True Lies but he has completely lost it.
Bridge of Spies is good. RPO is terrible, he could have rewritten the script. He could have changed some things. The film makes no sense and the only good sequence is the first half of The Shining scene. It doesn't look visually impressive and it's just idiotic. The Post looked terrible, he should stop with his meme lighting. The BFG, War Horse and Crystal Skull are all bad.

Thanks, i will check them out.

I think Insomnia and The Prestige are great films

the original insomnia is much better

lol, fuck off

Insomnia is good. Prestige is decent film which would be better with a better director. His cinematic style shot and reverse shot and going into medium close-up every time is annoying. Also it's predictable.

This is the average Yea Forums poster.

Oh, I've heard of his flicks. Haven't seen them yet though. But Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai have been on my to watch list for years

Nicholas Ray
Fritz Lang
John Ford
Raoul Walsh
Andre De Toth

Other directors are plebians with two working eyes.

You dont know who David Lean is? please fuck off back to Yea Forums

>his dialogue is terrible
I couldn't even finish Interstellar for this reason, I just couldn't take it anymore.

Go back to your capeshit or GoT thread.

So glad I'm not you. Seriously.

Victor Sjöström
Georges Méliès
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau
David Wark Griffith
Buster Keaton
Harold Lloyd
John Boorman
David Lunch Lol
Shūji Terayama
Ingmar Bergman

Would pay good money to see you list, if you can even name 5, but you're probably more into the collaborative effort as opposed to a single vision right? Start tying the noose.

Where to start with Terayama?

I started with Pastoral: To Die in the Country, because I saw it recommended on Yea Forums that one time when it wasn't total garbage. Then I saw Grass Labyrinth which riffs on and remixes some of the same themes. All his stuff is pretty wacky so it doesn't really matter, but I found that was a good way in.

Thanks user.
Name your top 10 then.

I came here to criticise but that's an unironically great list.

Underrated post.

Attached: bresson.png (634x172, 75K)

Stanley Kubrick

David Lynch

After the top three the order doesn't really matter:
Martin Scorsese

1. Kurosawa
2. David Lean
3. Bergman
4. Leone
5. Kubrick
6. Tarkovsky
7. Hitchcock

9. Carpenter
10. Michael Powell
tons of directors i would like to put on this list based on first impressions but i have to watch more of their stuff

Attached: sorry for what.jpg (283x283, 48K)

would have been perfect if you remove Ford,cant stand any Amerimutt director

Ford does kinda suck 2bh desu. I don't idk why people succ his nuts so much.

I really liked all of his films i have seen. The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Grapes of Wrath, My Darling Clementine, How Green Was My Valley and Wagon Master are great. That's why i put him on my list, i think he is the best american director along with D. W. Griffith but i haven't seen that many Griffith's films yet.

1. Stanley Kubrick
X Paul Verhoeven
Y John MacTiernan
Y William Friedkin
Y Ingmar Bergman
Y Akira Kurosawa
Y Ridley Scott
Y Francis Forc Coppola
Y James Cameron
Y Terry Gilliam
Y Stone
Y De Palma

Kubrick is the best, no question. Verhoeven made some impactful provocative entertaining films. The rest has a mix of quality, interesting, entertaining film with some technical achievement that I enjoyed.

I've only seen around 1250-1500 movies in total, but from what I've seen of Tarkovsky, Godard, Fellini, Ford, Lean, Ozu, Kar-Wai, Jodorowsky, Scorsese, Malick, Welles, Anderson, Haneke, Truffaut, Eisenstein, Herzog isn't really my taste.

I am curious why you guys don't have Kubrick on your list. Would really be interested in a detailed explanation.

im unironically glad i have access to the realm of kino unlike pleb such as yourself

>Denis villeneuve
>anything else than pure shit
Come on mate stop baiting

Based classic Hollywood user

we have some pretty good lists, not as dumb as pleb lists but also many great directors are mentioned that pseudos disregard (carpenter, cronenberg, ridley etc).

Attached: 42342342500233.jpg (1120x630, 106K)

Because i like his films but i prefer the directors i listed and maybe some others. Kubrick made one masterpiece in my opinion and that's Barry Lyndon. That's one of my favourite films but he never made another one. Eyes Wide Shut and 2001 are very close. His earlier films are not very good and i'm not a fan of Lolita. I also don't like The Shining that much.

>ridley
Alien is a good film, but he really is a one trick pony.

Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman, Orson Welles, John Carpenter, John Cassavetes, Nicholas Rey, Terrence Malick, Howard Hawks, Akira Kurosawa, François Truffaut

He's #14, after Brakhage, Welles and Parajanov. 10 is a really small number.

Ridley has lost it, his latest films are terrible. He made some good films, but he is not that great.

im not saying hes the best (especially now) but its perfectly fine to put him somewhere on the lower half of a top 10 list

damn that’s good

Not really in any order:

Tarantino, De Palma, Scorcese, Del Toro, Hitchcock, Wes Anderson, Kubrick, Nolan, Edgar Wright, Zack Snyder

2. Subway Sandwiches
3. Subway Sandwiches
4. Subway Sandwiches
5. Subway Sandwiches
6. Subway Sandwiches

10. Subway Sandwiches

I mean you can put him there but there. I could name around 30 directors which i think are better than him. He would be in my top 50 probably.

you couldn't even name 30 subway sandwiches.

That's true, but i can name 30 directors.

I'm a pleb who doesn't watch movies anymore, would rather shitpost about capeshit and GoT:
Bergman
Kieslowski
Herzog
Wong Kar Wai
Altman
Welles
Tarkovsky
Lynch
Bresson
Eisenstein

using expressions like "entry level criterion" in itself reveals that you dont know/care about kino quality and you think people watch them because they want social credits. let me guess your top list consist of peter jackson, tarantino and nolan. and im not saying tarantino is awful but yes, almost every director mentioned in this thread is better than him

depends if we rank directors by their raw talent or by the amount of great(or personal favorite) movies they made

George lucas, Micheal Bay, Uwe Boll, Spike Lee, Snyder not in any order

Yes, that's true. It's hard to measure raw talent and i still think i could find 30 more talented directors, at least according to me.

how can you only "like" Kubrick?
Isn't he one of the most love/hate directors out there?
and Paths of Glory/Dr. Strangelove isn't good?
Even in The Killing he showed his excellence in cinematography.

>Gerard Damiano

No bait. Unironically the most kino director working today, his movies feel like Nolan films but not pseudo intellectual bullshit

Antonioni is aesthetic as fuck

In no order:

Coen Brothers
David Lynch
David Fincher
Stanley Kubrick
Wes Anderson
Paul Thomas Anderson
Ingmar Bergman
Jim Jarmusch
Richard Linklater
Nicolas Winding Refn

Michael Bay
Uwe Boll
Andrei Tarkovsky
Harold Lloyd
Alfred Hitchcock
Tim Burton
Howard Hawks
Ed Wood
Fritz Lang
Reginald Barker
Edward Norton
Nick Broomfield
Christopher Nolan
Hideki Anno

why is barry lyndon a masterpiece aside from aesthetics? i mean its a good film but i dont get people's obsession with it

Ayylmao is complete generic dogshit apart from the visual design by Emerson Lake and Palmer album cover artist and pervert H.R. Geiger. It's also a huge ripoff of a comedy sketch from the movie Dark Star.

I didn't say that they aren't good, i like both of those. I like him very much he would probably be in my top 20. I like most of his films. I dislike Killer's Kiss, Fear and Desire. I'm not a big fan of The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. Clockwork Orange i also like but i think that parts of it don't work.

It isn't.

>you think people watch them because they want social credits

what else it could be when the whole thread is the same surface level arthouse directors repeated ad nauseam, with absolutely no self awareness or depth of knowledge (just look at all the replies to people calling out the basic "taste")

I think it's Kubrick's most emotional film, it has great blend of emotion and comedy. The story feels intimate yet epic in scope. The narrator is absolutely fantastic. I really like the story, his rise and fall and fascinating to watch. It also has great music and attention to detail. Rest of Kubrick's films are fascinating to watch, but i don't think any of them except for EWS have any real emotion.

I agree.

hmm interesting my favorites are the shining and 2001 but i think everything he made since the killing is good or at least decent. clockwork orange is smarter than the book for example even tho as a film i dont really enjoy it

>not liking the killing

>brahms cosplay

no i mean including the killing. actually thats a very good movie that i like more than some of his more famous films

My biggest problem with The Shining are the performances, Jack look crazy from the beginning there is no change in him and it deflates all of the tension.

Meant to quote

thats true but for me it makes it better since you know he can snap anytime, and hes got that threatening presence looming over the family. at least for me thats more disturbing than the other adaptation (or the book) where its a nice dad going crazy

Because I am a very flawed man that grew up in a family of leftist intellectuals that went through the white terror (gramps was in a political prisoner camp for most of the civil war, mum was imprisoned for 2 years and tortured for about 6 months, mainly beatings and the phalanx torture during the Greek military junta) and looking back on how I grew up I guess I was conditioned like these Midwestern home schooled christians that if a movie does not carry at the very least a message or a critique on sociopolitical matters it is not worth it to be considered a true masterpiece. I do like Kubrick and admiringly he is one of the greatest minds of the medium of cinema as a whole but I just cant cant place him on the same pedestal with Eisenstein, De Sica etc. Also Nolan is a guilty pleasure, he is a really good commercial director and I dont understand some ppl here that claim that you cannot enjoy a shitty commercial movie like Interstellar and also respect and love the works of Kurosawa (Apart from contemporary capekino, it literally impacts your intellect)

I can name a director who's had 30 subway sandwiches.
